Element X - Secure messenger - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Element X is the future Element.

It is the brand new, and fastest ever, Matrix client. It is for personal and community use, and will support enterprise functionality later this year.

A complete new build, Element X transforms performance. It’s not just the fastest Matrix client, it’s also fresher and more reliable.

It’s so fast for a number of reasons, but in particular we’ve introduced a completely new synching service (‘sliding sync’). So even in big end-to-end encrypted chat rooms it operates incredibly quickly.

It’s fresher because we’ve rebuilt the entire user experience. All the power of Matrix - and the complexity of decentralized end-to-end encryption - is now hidden under a beautiful and intuitive user interface using the very latest frameworks and accessibility features.

Element X delivers speed, usability and reliability on the decentralized Matrix open standard.

Own your data
Matrix-based, Element X lets you self-host your data or choose from any free public server (the default is matrix.org, but there are plenty of others to choose from). However you host, you have ownership; it’s your data. You’re not the product. You’re in control.

Interoperate natively
Enjoy the freedom of the Matrix open standard! You have native interoperability with any other Matrix-based app. So just like email, it doesn't matter if your friends are on a different Matrix-based app you can still connect and chat.

Encrypt your data
Enjoy your right to private conversations - free from data mining, ads and all the rest of it - and stay secure. Only the people in your conversation can read your messages. And Element X E2EE applies to voice and video calls too.

Chat across multiple devices
Stay in touch wherever you are with fully synchronized message history across all your devices, even those running ‘traditional’ Element, and on the web at https://app.element.io

Huge improvement in UX but comes with a loss of some functionality

The app looks and runs amazing, but there is no user management nor message search, so I need to keep the old element installed for more advanced actions. PLEASE restore the “Modern” message UI, the app would be a 5 for me if that was brought back; the bubbles take up too much screen space for my taste!

Missing Features

It’s missing the ability to manage sessions, security settings, basically do anything that you would expect a matrix client to do except show messages. Will increase rating when more basic features are added.

Can't get past recovery key screen

Created and saved my recovery key but it just pops up a warning about saving it. Can't get past this point.

Too much is missing

I’m trying to embrace this for my teams but there’s too much missing for this to be a viable solution for them. Why can’t I just see a list of channels grouped in their spaces? Why can’t I pin a post? Matrix is great. The app ecosystem is not.

Settings require desktop app

I think the app interface is great, but I don’t seem to be getting notification sounds, which is problematic. EDIT: My notifications weren’t set to “noisy” in the desktop app. I’ve since updated that setting (on the desktop app) and now am getting notification sounds on mobile. Would be nice to control the setting for the mobile app also.

Getting There

WAY better UI and sync than the previous app. Only missing extra rooms/servers. Getting some weird duplications with a few specific contacts though.

Could show the URL of homeserver instantly？

It takes me 30s to show the “matrix.org”, then I change it to my homeserver. Maybe the ISP blocks the matrix.org website, I guess. So I desperately hope just display the interface “matrix.org” when logining and don’t have to wait the connection to matrix.org. In that case, we can change the homes ever url quickly. thank you guys.

Good potential but lacking

I want to rate this highly but there’s so many features missing from this as compared to Element. Threads is a huge one as if voice calling and voice notes. This app has tons of potential

It's a start, need a lot of work

Basics work better then the orginal Element App, but still missing a lot of features. Voice to Text (system) still does not fuction correctly, always gets cut off. Release notes said fixed but the bug is still there. Threading does not work, messages just show up in-line the main chat. Hoping dev picks up on this app.

Chinese input

The Chinese input always has some problems, even for the latest version.
